President Trump said that something “special” is about to happen in the Middle East and that “all are on board” for this “greatness.” He doesn’t say peace. He says something great for the “first time ever.” Hopefully it is not a war with Iran. Russian state media reports that Israel is preparing a new strike on Iran. They credit “well-informed sources.” It would not be accurate to say “all are on board” for that. Global opinion is fractured, U.S. polling shows deep resistance to another Middle East war, and even within Israel, skepticism about a direct confrontation with Iran runs high. Calling it “greatness” won’t change that. If Trump’s tease points to war, it risks igniting a conflict no one can control and few outside the war rooms actually want. Let’s hope that is not it.
